Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Leopardstown and Sligo.
Leopardstown
6:15 – Cleveland – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Won Chester Cup in May and finished runner-up to the improving Get Shirty in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m 6f) at Royal Ascot. Now with Joseph O’Brien, stays in same ownership, he’s capable of better and although he drops back to 1m 4f still makes plenty of appeal with Ryan Moore in the saddle once again.
Sligo
7:35 – Guido Reni – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Hardly a prolific winner as his 1 win from 24 starts over hurdles shows. However, he does have plenty of pieces of form that give him a decent chance. Although the 8-year-old hasn’t won at Sligo he’s not finished outside the first three on all four starts at the track, including when a 6-length 3rd of 11 here (2m 1f) last month. Step up to 2m 4f is fine and the booking of Rachel Blackmore takes the eye.
Cheers
John
